Five deep breaths
I have found, for myself, that there are certain posts that trigger me so suddenly that I can't stop myself from replying to them, even when it's obvious the o.p. is not at all interested in the es&h I have to offer. It's a reaction like your hands automatically reaching out to catch something that's falling off a table. My urge to SAVE them is so fast and so strong that I have to fight the urge to keep trying, long after it's useful....
So, for the lack of something better to do, I'm going to take a long, deep breath, and let it out. And repeat four times, in, out, in, out.
And then say a prayer and turn back to my own recovery. I feel sad inside, though.
Nothing special to say, just a criticism of myself. Just.....um....."venting" in a weird way......
Hugs, all.
